Café Tortoni

Café Tortoni is the oldest coffee shop in the whole country which started functioning in 1858. It has a very rich history and therefore is visited at all times by intellectuals, politicians and artists.

If you are into the Tortoni to have a cup of coffee, to meet someone there, to attend any of the innumerable cultural functions offered there then you are getting into the very kernel of tradition. Tradition is not the past.

Tradition is the offering of the best of the past to the generations of the present and the future. It is not only in the walls of the Tortoni which in themselves are worthy of a museum but mainly in the spiritual climate that its management has wisely been created.

Visitors to Buenos Aires can enjoy the entire city at Cafe Tortoni. History is chronicled in the walls; the present can be felt sitting at its tables and the future can be seen in the enthusiasm of the people who work there for the sake of culture. Here you can indulge into the traditional flavors of the old times.

It is very touching to be in this fascinating café where the memory of so much argentine history and culture is preserved and that keeps a tally of the nearness between your society and their history.
